Just Shoot Me. Please.
I used to have the editor on speed dial.
I finally gave up.

I see this and I'm so relieved I retired from teaching.
I don't even need Prevacid any longer.
Oy.
well, ok, let's not talk about the elephant in the middle of the room then.
(the large curved white thing in the picture. or is it just me? lol)
whoa! it does look rather, mmm, peculiar, doesn't it? i hadn't noticed. it's actually this toothless old redneck guy's dog: he's lifting its leg (the white thing) and rotating it to show the tumor caused by The Bad Water that erin brockovich is coming to fix.
or something. but it IS a leg. i swear.
Doubly sad that the article is blunted by horrible writing, considering that the well water contamination problem is really not funny. I suppose a less small town, more scientific approach might yield results though. Where my parents live water that was once potable is no longer, and when the Texas Gov't scientists came out to test said water, they blamed the problem, once upon a time when it was raining quite a bit, on too much rain.
Apparently nature has a habit of polluting itself. Never mind that many of the oil wells from the 80's bust so long ago wound up abandoned and uncapped.
Again, too bad the aw shucks tone of the piece makes it seem more like a lost bit of script from Raising Arizona.
"too much rain"? surely they were joking, if gov't scientists even know how to do that.
My husband used to be night editor of a small town newspaper. He could tell you stories.
